You’ll typically find Russian carriers such as Aeroflot and Pobeda operating alongside regional airlines, with fares often perceived as mid-range compared with larger hubs. The airport sits about 15–18 km northeast of the city centre; taxis take roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while city buses and marshrutkas can take 40–60 minutes for a modest fare. Pros: straightforward layout and direct links to central Volgograd. Cons: limited late-night services and fewer international connections than major Russian hubs.

Rail connections and car rental are also available, making the airport convenient for onward travel to the Rhône-Alpes. Pros: good international connectivity and reliable public transport; cons: slightly farther from downtown than smaller airfields and peak-hour road traffic can add delay.
